C188 Eerie Crowd
With the sound of thunder, the rain turned from a patter to a gale.
The thick ancient trees on both sides of the path began to tremble.
However, in Xu Liusu's eyes, this storm was a bloody one.
This was because when he was in pursuit, the stench of blood did not dissipate. It only got worse and worse.
This made him more and more curious about the man's identity.
At this moment …
The man sat cross-legged under the giant tree. His body was hidden in the darkness and he would occasionally open his eyes, scanning the surroundings with his cold eyes. When he sensed a trace of Qi, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face, "Another person has come."
"The weather is so bad that Ye Lu can't catch it, yet I had to spend the night in the rain. This bastard is like an old sky, I'll just die from the rain!"
A white robed young man rushed over in a fluster, not forgetting to curse.
However, the young man turned his head and was stunned: "Oh? Brother, it's such a coincidence that you are also here! "
The man's eyes narrowed as they shone with a cold, blade-like glow. He then looked at the young man and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Dugu Sus, you can also call me Dugu Qiubai! "You haven't asked me yet?" The young man smiled faintly. He looked very friendly.
The man didn't reply. Instead, he stared at him with a pair of eyes that exuded a roiling blood energy. His gaze was extremely cold!
Xu Liusu felt uncomfortable and remained calm, but his heart was cold.
Hmph, grandfather, if it wasn't for the matter of the pendant, I would have killed you with a slap. Staring at this young master, you're f * cking looking!
However, Xu Liusu had to continue acting as if he was a popinjay.
It just so happens that the official road here leads to the Tianyuan County, and I want to travel with you. Sigh, you should also know that since this torrential rain is pouring down, it is easy for you to get lost, and the forks in the road ahead are crisscrossing.
Turn to...
Xu Liusu took out an item and it was actually a Spirit Crystal. "Please do not reject it, it is just one Spirit Crystal, express your desire. Brother, why don't you bring me along with you on your journey to adulthood?"
The man looked at it for a long time before he accepted the Spirit Crystal.
"Good brother, should we set off now? The rain is heavy. Let's take a break and set off." Xu Liusu said subconsciously.
However, the steel saber in the man's hand actually reflected a bloodthirsty and dangerous aura under the rumbling thunder light.
Xu Liusu felt that it was extremely eye piercing and smiled in embarrassment: "Ok, ok, ok, don't be angry, we will listen to whatever you say."
The two travelled through the rain.
Along the way, the man secretly observed the young man. The strange smile on his face became wider. He had seen this kind of young master too many times. He was rich and generous.
The only thing that caused men to be afraid of was that these kinds of people all had life-saving trump cards passed down in their clans.
The man was afraid of not being able to eat this fat sheep, so he took him on the road.
But this road, was not the road to Tianyuan County.
but a path to the underworld...
Before long, the sound of rain gradually stopped. The sky was filled with dark clouds, and the forest was deathly silent. The silence was terrifying.
The road led deeper into the darkness. The shadows of the trees were mottled as they stretched across the horizon like ghost claws. Who knew what they would encounter in a moment.
"Brother, you can obviously advance on the Great Dao. Why did you bring me into the deep forest?" Xu Liusu glanced around and pretended to be scared.
"Hmph, let's go." However, the man remained indifferent.
"Fine." Xu Liusu shrunk his neck back and followed him bitterly.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a bonfire, where another ten shadows appeared.
Xu Liusu's soul scanned around slightly.
He knew that these people ranged from the fifth to the ninth level of the Martial Soul Stage.
At the age of twenty, he'd grown up to become an old man.
When Xu Liusu appeared, he looked at Xu Liusu one by one. Some were cold, some were indifferent, some were mocking him.
There seemed to be a trace of sickness and madness in their eyes.
Furthermore, Xu Liusu could smell the thick scent of blood in the wind.
These guys were all gathered here in the middle of the night, and each of them had a wooden bucket beside them. The stench of blood was coming from within.
Xu Liusu said in his heart: "And their clothes are also very strange, it's like their skin is covered in pigment, and there are even threads of flesh hanging from them.".
This reminded him of the perverted homicidal maniacs from his previous life on Earth.
And in this world, there were also some ancestral worship ceremonies.
They performed all sorts of sacrificial ceremonies by devious and cruel means.
It was even said that some tribes and organizations would use human skin, demon skin, and other living beings as sacrifices.
Furthermore, it was stipulated that the person who had been skinned must not die, otherwise, it would be a blasphemy to the gods.
This group of martial artists was probably a bunch of perverted assassins. If they could wear human skin, then who could be more perverted than this place?
Xu Liusu stood alone on the spot, completely out of place with the people around him.
Moreover, no one seemed to care about him. Xu Liusu could only obediently sit beside the man.
But after sitting for a while, the man still had no intention of leading the way.
"Brother, you took one of my Spirit Crystal and brought me here. Aren't we rushing here?" Xu Liusu once again broke the atmosphere and asked.
The man was cold and expressionless. He held a small wooden stick in his hand. He was sharpening it with the tip of his blade. It was a human finger, a total of ten fingers!
"Brother, if you don't go to Tianyuan County, it's better for you to return these crystals to me. After all, that's still a million Striated Silver, and is the cost of half a year of me spending it."
Xu Liusu saw this, but he still kept on talking.
However, the man continued to concentrate on what he was doing and turned a deaf ear.
"Heh heh, that's strange. It's alright, sleep well. Tomorrow morning, remember to wait for me to catch up!"
With that, Xu Liusu closed his eyes to rest and ignored the surrounding environment.
There was a strange silence between the trees.
Everyone stared at Xu Liusu coldly. The air had dropped to the freezing point and the silence made people shudder.
Xu Liusu slightly raised his gaze and noticed that these people were all communicating through voice transmission.
His gaze gradually grew more frightening, like a merciless executioner, sharpening his blade and gradually staring at himself …
At this moment, Xu Liusu's nose sniffed and his expression changed. He looked at the wooden bucket closest to him, and his pupils abruptly constricted.
Because some of the liquid had already flowed out of the wooden barrel and spread to his feet, it was completely drenched in blood and had a thick fishy smell.
"It's human blood …"
